Nintendo is a Japanese video game company known for series such as Mario and The Legend of Zelda. Its games span genres including platform games, racing, adventure and party games, and are often designed to be easy to pick up while offering new challenges as players progress.
The titles mentioned range from F-Zero GX, a high-speed racing game, to Super Mario Bros. Wonder, a side-scrolling platform game, and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, an adventure centred on exploring a sea. Their different styles show why judging games by how much fun they offer involves weighing factors such as design, originality and how players respond to them.
